SO, Who is Chiara Ferragni? If you don’t know, you must have been hiding under a rock. Back in 2009, the Italian blogging extraordinaire launched TheBlondeSalad.com and, well, she hasn’t looked back since. The 30-year-old isn’t just a successful blogger, she is also the creative director of a successful clothing line, and a magazine cover star, and she is flown all around the world to collaborate with major fashion houses.

Let’s face it: With her model-good looks and enviable wardrobe, she’s a designer’s dream. The 30-year-old has landed at #1 on Forbes’s Top Influencers list in the Fashion category – thanks to her blog her Instagram, her clothing line, partnerships and lucrative sponsorships.

An avid Instagrammer, Chiara inherited a passion for photography from her mum and is now a daily source of style inspiration for millions of people. If you’re a number cruncher, Chiara has over 10.3 million Insta-followers, and over 2 million Facebook subscribers, she made Forbes‘ 30 Under 30 List and reportedly made over $10 million last year. She was also named by r Business of Fashion as one of the most influential personalities of international fashion. Oh, we almost forgot to mention: She’s a Law graduate too (seriously, just shoot us now…) Chiara currently lives in Los Angeles after being welcomed in the US with a green card. (I’ve got to see inside her L.A. house it is amazing!). She is married to Italian singer-songwriter Fedez. Her sister Valentina is also coming up the ranks, and Forbes says she is “grooming” her as “the next Milanese social media style star”.
